The Fromagerie du Vieux Moulin (Old Windmill Dairy)
A dairy recognised as Walloon Talent in 2016 by the Parliament of Wallonia
As the producer and distributor of unpasteurised Herve cheese made using traditional methods and modern techniques, the Fromagerie du Vieux Moulin produces a whole range of artisanal dairy products.
In addition to unpasteurised Herve cheese (mild, spicy, organic or in the shape of ingots), the Fromagerie du Vieux Moulin also develops different dairy products using artisanal methods such as maquée, butter, yoghurt, and prihel (fresh artisanal cheese moulded by ladle).
The owners, Madeleine and Philippe Hanssen-Polinard, are also constantly seeking new flavours. They’ve developed a Belgian brie ‘Le Crémeux’, a gouda ‘Le Saint-Martin’, a bloomy rind cheese ‘Le Fleuri du Bocage’, and finally, ‘Le Pavé du Vieux Moulin’, a semi-hard cheese.
The Fromagerie du Vieux Moulin invites you to discover its facilities as well as its museum space dedicated to making Herve cheese. This visit lasting around one hour and thirty minutes includes a tour of the cheese-making and refinement workshops, a presentation of traditional equipment, the screening of a documentary film about cheese-making and of course, a tasting of a few of the dairy’s products !
